It’s weeks like these that makes baseball so unpredictable. Who would have guessed that Texas Ranger OF Marlon Byrd would have made this list this year? His 10 runs scored and 2 HRs & SBs to go along with a batting average of .531 (OBP .583) put him on top of this week’s list.

At least someone on the Mariners has been hitting, OF Raul Ibanez hit 3 HRs while knocking in a whopping 15 RBIs puts him second on this list.

Before landing on the DL, Houston Astro’s LF Carlos Lee also hit 3 HRs while knocking in 11 RBIs while hitting .522 with an OBP of .621

These numbers aren’t the greatest for a leadoff man (BA of .233 and OBP of .303), but his 9 runs scored fit the bill and it doesn’t hurt to have a week where you hit 4 HRs (but only 6 RBIs) with a stolen base. This is what Tiger’s CF Curtis Granderson did this past week.

This next player is no stranger to this list, Angel’s RF/DH Vladimir Guerrero hit 3HRs while hitting .480 with an OBP of .519

 The bottom 5 players on this top 10 list are National’s OF Lastings Milledge (4 HRs/2SBs), Angel’s newly acquired 1B Mark Teixeira (2 HRs), Rockies’ LF Matt Holliday (11 R/2 SB), Dodger’s newly acquired LF Manny Ramirez (3 HR) and the Cardinal’s Albert Pujols (3 HR/1 SB).
